^---Thanks, my husband was asking about that. He likes the look a lot but was thinking he'd be changing tires quite often.

:D

^=====the xb looks great.........just not the camber...........the wheels look to wide to be stuffed in to the fenders, 2 degrees or less negative camber is usally acceptable, if the wheels already tuck nicley, but just about everyone i know and have come across in my years of customizing vheicles usually tries to remedy negative camber.....................
besides with a comment like that........seems as if you are fishing for positive comments that is lame,,..........if you post here expect comments that are good and bad.......take the good take the bad, and go on...........................

My wheels without camber actually barely hang out from the fenders. I like both looks though. With camber on the back, I could go down to maybe +17, +15 maybe. That would still be within the stock fenders. I could also go wider on the rim as well.

got camber 36 hours ago




195/50/15 Goodyear F1's on steel with $20 Rally brand plastic wheel covers painted Krylon Fusion yellow.

I don't do the camber for style. I do it for -handling-. Owwwww, Yellow Peril tucks into CORNERS so much better now.

Bring on the chainsaw thieves!

Hey Brad, I was curious to know what tire psi you are running to gain maximum tread life for daily driving?

Thanks!

i read an interesting article on Jtuned.com with Nobuteru (JGTC driver)
he had intersting comments semi-relative to this thread

J2N: What is your most memorable automotive experience?
***: My most memorable automotive experience is with my 4th Hachi-roku. I loved that car to death. For me it was the car that I can control freely as I commanded. The setup was perfect. But back in the day, there was a time when something called “Oni-can” (translated “demon camber”) was popular. “Oni-can” is when you apply obscene amounts of negative camber. I tried this and ended up totaling the car near my neighborhood while drifting. I never liked the look in the first place, but now I know never to do it again.


hahaha YEAH!!
DEMON CAMBER!!!!!!

I think my next move is to tune the newly installed Tein Basics' spring rates. Along with this I'll be trimming my camber... adding some negative camber by use of Eibach cambering bolts in the front strut lower mounts. (Idea suggested to me by Brian Sorenson)

That is, I will be TUNING my suspension for flatter cornering. This means: replace the Tein's standard springs with stiffer rates. And careful! addition of neg. camber to the front. Very possibly I'll be -reducing- the rear camber but not for any "demon" reason. I'm not nearly on that edge yet.

The car is very tractable as it stands today with heavy rear camber and a lot of body roll on these Tein Basic's -soft- standard springs.
